The front panel 2.5 mm mini stereo connector Config port serves the same
function as this rear panel port but is independent from it.
Both configuration ports require 38400 baud communication. This is a
higher speed than many other Extron products use. The System 5 IP
configuration software automatically sets the connection for the appropriate
speed. If using HyperTerminal or a similar application, make sure the PC or
control system connected to these ports is set for 38400 baud.
